Tesla model x self driving

Beyond being a cutting-edge electric car, the Tesla Model X is an exceptional vehicle loaded with features that leave you asking why other makers haven't copied them. And while there is some gimmickry to the Model X, it is a competent, if also a bit quirky, three-row family hauler — albeit in the rarefied world of $100,000 luxury SUVs.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company has released a video of a Model X cruising through one of its underground tunnels. The short, 11-second clip starts with the vehicle perched atop skates before a voice calls out “ 2…1”, before it shotos down the tube to modest speeds. This marks the second video since March showing a Model X doubling as a promotional tool. Other “feats of strength” performed by a Model X include a March 250,000-pound pull of muck rail cars out of a tunnel and towing of a 287,000-pound Boeing Dreamline by Qantas in May.

A preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday said that a Tesla Model X traveling on Autopilot increased the vehicle's speed before it crashed into a highway barrier and killed its driver. The report of the March 23 crash that killed 38-year-old Walter Huang details the minutes and seconds before impact, and echo other accounts of Tesla's Autopilot self-driving software failing to avoid or brake for objects. Investigators said that Huang was traveling southbound on U.S. Highway 101 near Mountain View, California, near State Highway 85 when the Model X he was veered into a painted highway separator and struck a damaged barrier. Huang's Model X split and spun, striking two other cars, and burst into flames. Huang was pulled from the car and was pronounced dead at a hospital. According to data pulled from the Model X, Huang set his 2017 Model X on Autopilot at 75 mph as he traveled south. Fifteen minutes before the crash, investigators reported that … [Read more...] about Investigators: Autopilot sped up before fatal Tesla Model X crash

SAN JOSE, Calif. — When the Tesla Model 3 appeared in production form last summer, the hype was already at a fever pitch after months — years, even — of anticipation. With hundreds of thousands of reservations already on the books, it appeared this could be the car that transforms Tesla from a startup to a true competitor. Then, crickets, for most customers anyway. Production delays have left customers frustrated and analysts speculative about the company's future. With that in mind, we found an owner lucky enough to have already received his Long Range Model 3 — and kind enough to let us drive it — and we traveled to Silicon Valley to see what all the hubbub is about. Model 3 production is off to a slow start, but the first units produced are top-of-the-line, far above the $35,000 base price. The long-range battery ($9,000) normally provides 310 miles of driving range, but the 19-inch wheels ($1,500) reduce that to 290 miles. The high-end interior … [Read more...] about Tesla Model 3 First Drive Review

Jaguar Land Rover and Waymo recently announced a strategic partnership to supply the Alphabet-owned self-driving technology company with up to 20,000 examples of the new all-electric I-Pace crossover over the next 2 years. Jaguar Land Rover and Waymo (formerly Google's self-driving car project) will work together to design and engineer self-driving Jaguar I-Pace vehicles starting later this year. The Jaguar I-Pace, which debuted earlier this month, comes with a 90kWh battery pack which lets it put out 400PS and 696Nm while having a 480km range. It gets a bespoke aluminium platform and gets Jaguar's own battery technology, getting from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.5s and has a top speed of 200 kmph. The crossover competes with the Tesla Model X but is priced from Rs 55 lakh (excluding taxes and duties). Waymo and Jaguar engineers will conduct on-road testing and capture real-world data to refine the technology and deliver optimum safety and reliability. This will be done from the ground up and … [Read more...] about Jaguar Land Rover to add up to 20,000 all-electric I-Pace crossovers to Waymo’s self-driving car fleet
